About our program and students

The Department of Radio-Television-Film offers a Bachelor of Science degree.

The undergraduate program is one of the most dynamic and highly regarded media programs in the country, and we take great pride in the impressive work done by our current students and alumni. Our undergraduates have won numerous awards at international, national, and regional film festivals, and conduct research in media studies that is supported by prestigious scholarships. Many of our students participate in internships with both independent and big-budget film production companies, as well as with radio and television stations, video game and web design companies, and a variety of other media institutions.

Undergraduates learn a broad range of media production and screenwriting skills and examine a variety of media issues, including critical and cultural studies, communication technology and policy analysis, international communication, gender and sexuality issues, ethnic and minority studies, and more.

This combination of production, screenwriting, and media studies is one of the strengths of the Department and is a unique characteristic of the undergraduate program. Students graduate with a solid education in skills and theory, technical and historical knowledge, and creative and critical abilities.
